hosted by: Nicholas Comninellis, MD, MPH, DIMPH
November 10 2022 10:00 AM - 1:30 PM
Main Building ED 310/311
Meeting Overview
Many diseases are closely associated with poverty and topical locations. When social infrastructures falter—as in times of disaster, economic depression, or civil unrest—the burden of these diseases predictably escalates. This course updates participants with acute disease management skills, and IS OPEN TO ANYONE.
